I am guessing this is the beautiful creatures name.....I thought it was your name spelt backwards at first.....
LOL
Spelling was never my strong point.
Excellent detail Carla...well done!

I really appreciate your comments, and glad some were able to get a laugh or a smile.

My apologies to those of you who are not familiar with the Aflac commercials, I should have explained the title.
AFLAC Duck -
Is the persistent white spokes-bird for the AFLAC Insurance Company. It has appeared in a series of humorous commercials since January 2000.
The AFLAC duck's trademark catchphrase is "AFLAC!" The bird's mission is to remind people of the company's name.

  Rosemary, I am sorry I only now realized I did not answer your question as to how I got the background. I used a telephoto lens and set the camera to macro. The dark green background is grass.

  Very cute. Love the close up shot. I love the AFLAC commercials. My step daughter works for AFLAC. We have all kinds of AFLAC items. She's always getting us new stuff when it comes out. We have all kinds of stuffed AFLAC items. Some walk some sing. They all say AFLAC. They are really neat.
